A man who assaulted his partner when she tried to prevent him leaving has been given a suspended prison sentence.

Tanyo Dmitrov later drove his victim to Hospital where they were both treated for injuries they had received in the incident.

Cambridge Crown Court heard that the victim only made a complaint when the relationship finally broke down three months later.

Dmitrov, 27, of Burns Road, Royston, admitted causing actual bodily harm to the woman who had suffered bruising to the jaw and neck.

Judge Gareth Hawkesworth sentenced him to three months’ imprisonment, suspended for 18 months, 25 days of rehabilitation and ordered him to pay his victim £400 compensation, together with prosecution costs of £400.
